Years ago, Professor Miao Yue 繆鉞 wrote a treatise on ＂The Clashes between the Han and the Xianbei Peoples in Politics during the Eastern Wei and the Northern Qi Dynasties＂ (東魏北齊政治上和人與鮮卑之衝突). He focused on the antagonism between the Han and the Xianbei peoples to epitomize the political fights in the Eastern Wei and the Northern Qi dynasties. Textual examination of the History of the Northern Qi Dynasty (北齊書), however, indicates quite the contrary, as follow : (1) Early on Gao Huan 高歡 and his son Gao Cheng 高澄 aim employed Cui Xian崔暹 and other scholar-officals to restrain the meritorious nobility. Up to the time of Gao Yang 高洋 , this pollicy was still in place. (2) Then he died, his son Gao Yin 高殷 succeeded to the throne. Gao Yang's younger brothers Gao Yan高演and Gao Zhan 高湛 slew Gao Yin's vassals the minister Yang Yin楊愔and others, and proclaimed himself to be the Emperor; thus Yang Yin and other scholar-officials were victims in the struggle for the throne. (3) Then at the courts of Gao Zhan and his son Gao Wei 高緯 , Zu Ting 祖珽 manipulated the imperial power; that was purely power struggle for personal ends. (4) Lastly Zu Ting lost the ground, and Cui Jishu 崔季舒 and his associates were slain; that meant that the scholar-officials fought with the military leaders and failed. None of the above incidents can be construed as an ethnic strife between the Han and the Xianbei peoples. It illustrates that in Northern Qi dynasty this kind of ethnic strives in fact waned and was on the way to fade. In the Northern Qi polity, the separation of the civil and the military was actually more pronounced than the Northern Zhou 北周 polity, which saw the consolidation of the two peoples.
